[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP back again, and I appreciate the feedback. I'd be open to hearing about LACs that are good for math as well.

In terms of future jobs, I'm not entirely sure, and I'm not sure that she's entirely sure. I would guess something along the lines of data scientist or statistician.[/quote]

I was a math major at Washington and Lee. I'm a white female from this area.

The accessibility of the professors when I had a question was outstanding. The instruction was top flight quality. I agree that even coming from APs, it was an adjustment but a doable one. I was excellently prepared for graduate school in math.

A lot is said about the culture there, but a math major would be in a bubble, escaping all of the drama. The one professor who is a problem is restricted to teaching non-math majors and is being pushed towards emeritus status. It's like being in a simple world where all you have to do is learn math, distraction-free, with other smart people who also love math, some of whom are students and some of whom are professors. Some of my favorite memories are from studying linear algebra in Chavis Hall.[/quote]
